Name Correction Flow
The Name Correction flow allows an agent or customer to correct minor errors in a passenger’s name after a booking has been created — such as fixing typos or adjusting middle/last names — without reissuing a new ticket if allowed by the airline.
Flow Process
- 1. OrderRetrieveRQ - Retrieve the current order.
- 2. OrderReshopRQ/RS - Reshop for the name change as per VA rules.
- 3. OrderChangeRQ (Confirm) - To accept an offer (from OrderReshop) to change the name of the passenger.
